A/N: I would like to take a moment and thank each and every reviewer. This chapter is considerably longer than the last, and wasn't quite as long as I had hoped it would be, but... I hope you enjoy it! Please RR.

Wednesday Morning, AEHS

As soon as I woke up this morning, I was on a mission…A mission to talk to Lilly about what I said last night, and tell her the good news about the second chance. However, my opportunity was thwarted, when the limo failed to arrive this morning. Michael was sympathetic to my setback though, and gently tugged on my hair as he said, "Don't worry Thermopolis; you'll see her later at school."

"I don't want to see her later; I want to see her now!" I pouted. We were walking to the subway station and passed by an advertisement for the big "Gala Event of the Year!"

I have got to make the switch before Lilly makes a fool out of me in front of what will probably be hundreds of people. Which would cause Grandmere to kill me.

When Michael and I arrived at the school, there were news cameras surrounding the building. This situation looked vaguely familiar, and we half-ran the rest of the way to the front.

"What's going on?" I started shoving my way through the crowd of people. I joined Boris and Tina next to Joe, the stone lion, in front of the school. "What happened? Where's Lil- I mean, where's Mia?" Tina pointed to the top of the stairs, where Lilly was standing, posing for the cameras.

"She just announced that she will be running for Class President," Boris remarked, trying to put his arm around me in the process, "I didn't know she wanted to go into politics."

"Well, duh," Tina said, "She is the PRINCESS, I mean, don't you think that now is a good time to start?"

Oh God. Why do things always seem to go from bad to worse in a matter of minutes?

Lunch time, Wednesday

I caught up with Lilly in the cafeteria, and asked her what she thought she was doing, and do you know what she said???

"This princess thing isn't as bad as it seems, I think I kind of like having the media at my beck and call. Maybe we shouldn't switch back after all."

Michael was sitting with the Computer Club when I stomped over to him and said, "We need to talk."

He must have seen the tragic look on my face, because he jumped up and followed me to an empty table. "What's wrong?"

I buried my face in my hands and began to sob, "Lilly said she doesn't want to change back after all."

I stretched my hands out across the table, and laid my cheek against the cool surface. Michael, who was as surprised as I was, covered my hands with his and said, "Don't worry about a thing, we will find a way to fix this."

"Not if she isn't speaking to me! Plus, she has Lars on patrol, so it isn't like we could kidnap her and force her to change back."

A thoughtful look passed over Michael's face as he asked, "When did you say the party was?"

"This Friday. The same night that we have to swap bodies, or we will be stuck like this forever."

"Don't sweat it Mia, I've got a plan." The look on his face can only be described as grim determination.

He got up and walked back to the table where the rest of the Computer Club was finishing up their lunch, leaving me alone.

Wednesday, After school

I took the subway back home when school let out. If I thought it was hard being a princess whose best friend isn't speaking to me, BEING the best friend, whose best friend is the princess and not speaking to me is even more difficult.(A/N: How confusing! But hopefully you understand what I meant!) At least I had Tina to talk to the last time, but since Tina is my friend more than Lilly's, she isn't really speaking to me much either. Boris, however, is trying to be the sympathetic boyfriend, and keeps trying to put his arm around me. I could be a total witch, and break up with him, hopefully breaking Lilly's heart in the process, BUT, I cannot with good conscience break Boris' heart, no matter how much his sweater-tucking and mouth breathing might annoy me.

Michael has gone off to do some undercover espionage I think, which has left me alone again. I wonder what his great plan is.

Right now, all I want to do is curl up on the couch and watch the O.C. I could use some TLC from Michael, but that can wait until Friday.

Later Wednesday night:

Michael came busting through the door with a slightly bewildered looking older woman in tow. He introduced her as Madam Zara (A/N: I know, like out of the Mediator series).

"I'm so sorry your highness, when I told her that she would do great things, this was not what I meant to happen."

"What do you mean? Are you saying that you did not cause the switch to take place?"

"Well, I did, but I did not realize that she would take advantage of this gift and do things that are not supposed to be done."

"So what can you do about it now?"

"Well, nothing, at least until Friday night, when the 72 hour time window becomes open again."

Geez, it's almost like we are stuck in a bad science fiction movie.

"But she doesn't want to go back."

Madam Zara pursed her lips together and said, "She will have no choice."

Yay! Finally someone is speaking my language. From what Madam Zara has told me, we are going to change back automatically!

Unfortunately, Madam Zara also seems to have a bit of ESP, because she shook her head sadly and said, "It won't be that easy. You still have to be joined together for your soul and mind to transfer back to their original positions."

That sounds like it could hurt.

"It will be totally painless for you, but your friend may experience some discomfort afterward."

There we go with the ESP again. Michael had been standing quiet while I conversed with Madam Zara, but finally spoke.

"They also have to be in your presence, right?"

She turned to him and said, "Yes, they must be joined together, and I must, oh how do you say it, say the magic words."

Just then, the telephone rang. "Hello?" I answered.

"Lilly!" It was Boris. Great, how am I going to get out of this one? I have totally been avoiding his ardor, but now it seems to have caught up with me.

"Oh, hey. How are you?" Michael looked at me quizzically. "It's BORIS," I silently mouthed. Michael shuddered and rolled his eyes.

"I am well; would you still like to accompany me to the movies this Friday?"

Oh great, Lilly must have made this date with him before we were Freaky Fridayed.

"Mia told me that you had mentioned something to her about it in G&T," he continued.

WHAT?? I nearly dropped the phone. She made a date with Boris for me? This Friday? She must know that this is the last chance we have!

Boris continued talking, and I murmured what I thought were non-committal answers until he broke through my reverie by saying, "Good, then I will pick you up at 7:30, and we will go see the movie. Goodbye."

He had disconnected the line before I even got a chance to utter a reply. Oh no. How am I going to get out of going to see the movie with Boris? Lilly must know that I am too spineless to do something as cruel as hurt the feelings of a friend.
